Story Behind the Book

“After speaking on The Wounded Woman , some guys asked me, ‘What about us?’ I was taken aback and asked, ‘What do you mean?’ ‘Life is hard,’ one of them said. ‘People are cruel. As guys, we get beat up, and nobody addresses our wounds. Help us deal with the pain of getting shot down.’ Over the next month, I couldn’t get this conversation out of my mind. Every day I ran into some wounded a father facing the death of his son, a husband stunned by the unfaithfulness of his wife, a brother betrayed by a brother. Finally, I recognized I had to write something to encourage us guys.”—Dr. Steve Stephens

This is a very good and challenging book. It's so encouraging as the author knows the pain of those oppressed and rejected. It is just lifting to know that someone truly understands your pain of being wounded. At the same time, it never fails to give you the guidance to make good use of the pain, as God never fails to make good out of the worst. God allows us to have pain and be wounded as it's His way to discipline, stretch, and train us. Never give up hope on God, never give up hope on yourself, as God has the plan for each one of us, and He promised we'll be far much better when we are healed from the wound, and come out of the pain. :-)
